Chapter one: Making Mischief

"Arceus, damn it." I mumbled to myself as I looked at the slip of paper that had suddenly appeared in front of me. I bent down and unfolded the old feeling yellow parchment.

"Dear James,

You are hereby summoned to the Hall of legends. There is an emergency meeting at 3:00. We must discuss matters of human problems like always.

Arceus

P.S. I heard that."

I smiled as the last part inscribed itself as Arceus heard my curse. I looked at my clock. It was 2:30 and I figured I might as well go The Hall early because I wasn't going to get much done, not that I was anyway doing much anyway.

I was a half-legend. I had white hair and usually wore a white hoodie with a master ball design on the shoulder and jeans. My mother was none other than mew, my father was Ash Ketchum. She had told me how he charmed her the day he had gone to find his pikachu and one thing lead to another and I was born a few months later.

I focused my energy into teleporting to The Hall. It was a beautiful place, the walls were made out of marble and it branched into a court like room at the end. There were various doors down the main hall that the legendaries and half legendaries could sleep in if they wanted.

I wasn't surprised to see Arceus waiting for me. "I expected you to show up early." She said. She had the unique ability to change gender but most of the time she preferred being female. I didn't question it though, because being half mew, I could also change, and I was guilty of changing into the opposite sex for my own benefit. I could also change my human appearance, but I usually just stuck with my usual look of white hair and a plain face.

"Well, when you send out the summoning on such a short notice what can I get done?" I joked. Arceus and I were good friends, like I was with most legendaries. The few I didn't get along with was deoxys, because it would always act so self centered, I tried to stay away from the legendary birds and Groudon, they were always fighting. Darkrai was actually one of the best I got along with because we shared many of the same ideas. We both thought society was best left alone and stick to the small friends we had in The Hall.

"Some matters require more importance." She replied. I could tell she wasn't in a joking mood and I moved on. I then remembered that she usually talks more when I am in a pokemon form and so I decided to shift into my favorite form. Bright light enveloped me and I stood a little shorter with white fur all over me and yellow on my chest. I was a lucario, but with my own spin on it. I had white fur instead of blue and the spikes on my chest and hands were black instead of white.

"You seem… Irritated." I said. "Giratina causing trouble?"

"Surprisingly not. It is Alexis. She left the court to be with humans because she didn't like the pressure of the whole world problems." She said, referring to another half legendary. Alexis was the daughter of Victini and a human female.

"Ahh… I can't say I don't feel pressured half the time but I do best then." I said, trying to help my friend. I heard a warping sound and turned around to see a pink cat pokemon with a long tail with an oval shape at the end. "Hi mom." I said with a smile and she floated over and hugged me.

"How are you?" She asked kindly.

"Doing fine.. I will have a pokeball thrown at me every now and then but other than that it is all fine."

"Mmh. Don't get caught. I would have to find you." She let go. "So, Arceus, what seems to be the problem today?" She asked. My mom was probably the closest to Arceus than all of the other legendaries.

"Well" Arceus sighed. "We have to go over their crazed want for capturing us legendaries."

"Oh." She said.

The rest of the 20 minutes had passed and I went to go sit down in my usual spot next to my mom and darkrai. The meetings were more like lectures every time that dragged on from a half of an hour to over two. I had always sat there and listened, but I would never really take things like this seriously. It all seemed so trivial. Maybe… Maybe she gets lonely so she calls meetings to see all of her children. I thought.

'You are too smart for your own good. You were wrong, but you are close.' I heard a voice in my head and looked up from my shifting hand. I saw Arceus looking at me as she continued the lecture, smiling slightly.

I smiled back and continued focusing on my hand, now turning it into a scyther blade. The meeting was finally adjourned after a long 45 minutes. I walked up to another half legendary, Jason was his name. He was the son of reshiram, so he had a fire in his eyes and made him seemed determined about everything. He had short blonde hair and looked 23. His voice was a little more high pitched than normal.

"What's up James?" He asked in his casual tone.

"Nothing. I got busted today." I laughed as he handed me a special soda that was stocked in The Hall. It was amazing because it always tasted what you wanted it to taste like.

"Oh really, what'd ol' Arcy catch you doing today?" He laughed.

"Wasn't paying attention." I said. "Was toying around with ideas and she read my mind." I left after talking to him for a while. I decided to play my usual pranks and looked around. Hmm… Who is todays target? I thought to myself. Ah ha! Palkia, she always seems to know a thing or two about having fun. I am sure she wouldn't mind. I thought as I began to shift my body to copy hers. In seconds I was a perfect replica and began walking the halls. I was soon approached by her ironic mate, Dialga.

"Cut the act." He laughed in his rather deep voice. "If you are going to turn into Palkia, you have to walk like her James."

I then decided to change it up a little and turn into a young girl around age 14 with medium long blonde hair and green eyes. "Hey! Whatcha talkin about!" I demanded, stamping my foot down. "James is way worse of a shape shifter than me."

"Umm… Sorry." He muttered, obviously fooled. "Are you mew? I mean new?"

"Yes. I am mew's daughter. James went that way." I pointed toward the garden. "Oh, and Dialga" I said smiling. "There's gullible written on your forehead." I laughed as I changed back to my regular human form.

I decided to hold off on shapeshifting into another member of The Hall as I went to my room. It was rather simple for me being a legendary. I had a desk in one corner where I would write every now and then and a large flatscreen tv in front of my queen sized bed. I had a small collection of swords hanging up on the wall. They have always been my passion, the smooth curve of the blade, the sharp and efficient tools of war were beautiful to me. My favorite was a prismatic blue ninja sword that would strap around my back.

"Come on out." I said, noticing a familliar shadow on by floor by the bed. Out of the ground came the legendary pokemon of nightmares. Darkrai floated over to me and looked at me quizzically.

"I don't see why you collect those metal sticks. You can trasform into any pokemon and copy their powers." He said rather flatly. His voice was one that would send shivers down a normal persons spine. It was deep but also whispery.

"Because I like them. I don't ask why you give people nightmares. Whats the word?"

"I don't like it. I know you don't think it is too much of a problem, but most legendaries aren't gifted with the ability to turn into humans. Becoming a pet to a one of them would be ridiculous."

"This latest meeting was kinda boring… I need to do something mischievous." I said.

"Well… you know Alexis is the easiest halfy to scare." He said, using the shortened version of half legendary the legends like to use.

"Nah, she left The Hall. Couldn't take the stress." I said, slipping the throwing dart I usually kept in my boot (for defense) out and put it with the rest of them. I threw myself onto my bed and turned on the tv. "Sports, food, survival, movies…. There is not a damn thing on."

"Thus why I never watch your human tv. Maybe Arceus is open. You know how she jumps." He said.

"Haha funny. She would turn us both into weedle just for saying that." I laughed. "But I do need to talk to her. I will be back, make yourself comfortable." I turned into my true form of a mew.

"About what? No offense but you usually aren't the type to take responsibility."

"Well… I have someone I need to ask a favor for." I said, thinking about one of my good human friends that is suffering from a terrible disease. I floated my way down to the big gold doors beyond the meeting room and wasn't amazed as they opened in front of me. I floated a little ways more into a lavishly decorated room with plants hanging on the wall and paintings of civilizations millennia old. Arceus was sitting by her plants, watering each one.

"I already know what you are coming to me for." She said.

"Doesn't mean I want it any less." I said, looking down. "Mother.. If you would please heal my human friend I would be incredibly thankful. He is one of my best friends and you know I would never ask you for anything for my self." I said, fiddling with my oval tail.

"Hmm.. You know I put everything on this earth for a reason. I also realize you would not be at your best at all times to fix human errors if you were grieving. I will do it, because you are my grandchild and I can sense your bond with that human is stronger than most others I have seen. Your friend will be healed of his leukemia."

I felt incredibly relieved and shot myself around her neck. "Oh thank you so much Mother. You won't regret it, I promise." I said, shedding tears of joy.

"You are very welcome child." She said returning the hug to the best of her abilities. "Now go visit him. Thats an order."

"Yes ma'am." I said cheerfully. I teleported back down to earth. I appeared in my suffering friends room. I didn't bother to transform because he already knew my secret. He was about 5' 8" and he had ragged brown hair and brown eyes. He sleeping so I curled up on his chest and waited for him to wake up. I didn't have to wait long as Arceus healed him. He awoke with a start, and I jumped.

"I… I am alive?" He said curiously. "You!" He exclaimed.

I nodded. "Yep. I couldn't bear losing an amazing friend so I managed to talk to Arceus. So glad you are ok Rob." I said, hugging his neck.

"Hey, chill with the hug, I am getting fur in my mouth." He laughed. "You know the doctors are going to shit themselves right?"

"I don't really care." I let go and floated down to the edge of the bed.

"What would I do without you?" He laughed again.

"Probably be dead." I said, putting my paw to my chin.

"True, true."

I looked up at the sky once more and mouthed a thank you to Arceus. 'Like I said, you are very welcome child.' I heard her warm voice in my head.

Rob got up and began walking towards his door. I floated after him, hoping his parents would mind having a mew floating around. We saw his mom in the kitchen and she screamed like someone stabbed her. I covered my sensitive ears as she finished her blood curdling shriek. Geez woman, I have heard quieter explouds. I thought. "Frank! Come quick! HURRY!" She demanded. "D-did you heal him?" She asked, approaching me.

I thought for a moment. "Mew." I said, nodding my head. I then had the life squeezed out of my little feline body as she hugged me. I squeaked a little and she realized she was hurting me.

"I am so sorry. Thank you so much for healing my son. I will forever be in your debt. Is there any way we can help?" Not wanting to take any credit for healing the boy I declined with a shake of the head and another "Mew", but my stomach decided otherwise and thought it would be a good time to rumble.

Damn it. Why now? They are going to feed me for Arceus, doing.

"Oh dear, are you hungry? I will be back." She left to the kitchen.

"Your mother is too freaking nice. I hope Arceus isn't mad for them thinking I did it." I whispered.

"She is bringing snacks, I was pretty hungry too. I am sure he won't mind."

"She." I corrected him. "She for now." I laughed.

"Whatever." His mom came back with a plate with two sandwiches. One was cut in half and I imagined it was for me. I grabbed both halves of my sandwich and teleported back to The Hall in Arceus' room.

"What's this?" Arceus said curiously.

"Rob's mom made sandwiches for us and she thinks I saved him. Here." I said, offering my sandwich to her.

"That isn't necessary." She said softly. "I have already eaten as well. I am just glad you and your friend are well." She said, using her powers to push my hand back.

"Yes ma'am." I said. My stomach voiced it's problems again and Arceus laughed.

"I think you might need it more anyway."

After I gave her one last inquisitive glance, she nodded and I proceeded to take a bite out of the sandwich. I teleported back to Rob and was surprised to see he was back in his room, talking to his parents. I gave them quite the shock when I appeared in a flash of light and they all gasped.

"A mew." His father said, awestruck.

"I am sorry Ja- I mean Mew, but this is important. Please wait outside." I gave him a sad look and began floating out the door of his room. He had already seen all my sad kitten faces though, and he wasn't affected. I made my way out of his house and I transformed back into my human form. He came out a minute later and I gave him an odd glance. "If I had wanted you to know, I would have let you stay." He laughed.

"Well maybe you should… For all you know you could be planning to capture me in a pokeball and make me a pet." I laughed.

"Yea.. I would do that. Right after you talked Arceus into saving my life."

"Well, you never know." I said. "Anyway, that sandwich was more than enough for the Mew part of me, but I am still hungry as a human. Lets hit up the sandwich shop." We did and we both had our fill. We came out of the sandwich shop only to be greeted by another yellow note on the ground. "This cant be good." I said, picking up the note.

"Dear James,

Bread

Butter

Corphish legs

Magikarp fillets

Pancake mix

Moomoo milk

Arceus"

"A shopping list. You send me a shopping list." I said as Rob laughed. "Can't you make these things just appear?" I looked up at the sky.

Another P.S, began inscribing itself on the bottom of the page. "P.S. I could, but you owe me. Have these items in The Hall fridge by tonight please."

"Yes mother." I said, making my way down to the shop, Rob still laughing. "Oh shut up. It isn't THAT funny." I said, punching him on the arm.

"Hey bro, chill out. So what you are a butler to god? You ask her for a favor and she lets you. All's fair right?"

We had walked into the wal-mart and found the things Arceus wanted. "Don't." I heard her voice in my head. She had read my mind as i was thinking about bringing Rob up to The Hall with me.

"Pfft, it was only an idea. I knew how you feel about that topic." I said, gaining a confused stare. I pointed upwards and he let out an 'Ooh' as he realized I was talking to Arceus. "Anyway, all we have left is corphish legs and pancake mix.. I can't imagine what she is making…" I trailed off as a few more items were added to the list. "AND some cheese, taco shells, and finally some ground meat."

When we were finally ready to check out, I teleported some money from the halfy's bank and pocketed it. "Hey, that didn't come from my pocket did it?" Rob said.

"Nahh. I only pull tricks once." I laughed. It was true, I had teleported some money from Rob's pocket one day. I had given it back, of course, but not after I had some fun with him.

"Then where'd it come from?"

"The other legends call it the halfy stache. Its where us half legendaries can go for finances. It has money for every region and a ton of it. We don't have to pay back either." I laughed.

"Man, do you have it good or what?" He laughed. "How can I get like that?"

"Die and be reborn as the child of a legendary or gain the favor of your favorite and ask them for their blessing." I said. "The first one is probably the better option because a legendary giving someone their blessing happens only about once every million years or so."

We checked out and left the store, arms full of groceries. "So what now? How are we supposed to get THESE all the way up there?" He motioned upwards with his chin.

"Like this." I said, teleporting to The Hall. I walked down and announced my arrival. "Mother! I am here."

"Kitchen!" Came her reply. I walked down The Hall and walked into the huge kitchen. Arceus was in her human form over the stove. She had white hair with gold highlights that went down past her shoulders, her eyes were golden and she had a small pointy nose and full lips. She wore a white dress with a golden belt and bare feet.

The kitchen was rather impressive as well, because it was made out of marble and was the size of about a football field to fit almost all of the legendaries. It had a few islands to prepare and serve food. The tables were carved out of marble and connected to the floor. "If you don't mind me asking… What is all this for?"

"A feast. You were right… well partially right." She said. I was curious because I didn't remember what I said that I would be right about.

"Hmm?" I asked.

"Earlier at the meeting. It does get lonesome up here. That isn't why I call meetings though. Believe it or not, we actually have real problems every now and then."

"Ahh." I said as I remembered her reading my mind at the meeting.

"Hey!" She exclaimed. "Where is the rest?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"My bad. One sec." I said, teleporting back down to Rob.

"Ima need those." I laughed and took the groceries. I teleported back to Arceus and set the rest on the counter.

"Everything should be here." I said with a triumphant grin.

"Thanks, you can go now." She waved me off.

"Is anyone else here?"

"Rayquaza, Darkrai, and Deoxys." She listed, putting things in the fridge.

"Ahh, thanks." I decided to mess with Rob and turn into a girl. I had short brown hair (he likes girls with short hair) and a full figure. I teleported behind walmart and I walked to the front. He was still waiting for me and I made my way into his field of vision. I saw him beginning to stare.

"Hmm… Like what ya see?" I said, changing up my accent a little.

"Me?" he said, clueless.

"Mhm. You were staring after all." I said, walking up to him.

"Then yes. You are gorgeous." He said, blushing. "You know, we should get to know each ot-THER!" He gasped when I 'tripped' onto his chest. It didn't bother me, because when I transform my whole body changes, even my sexuality. I didn't think of it as weird because it has been natural to me my whole life.

"I think I know enough already." I said. "You are Robert Joseph Green. You like women with short hair like mine and you prefer small breasts than big ones. You hate it when women think they should get treated better and prefer when they accept it instead. You also have a scar from jumping into a creek off of a cliff with me on your left thigh." I said, watching his face turn into one of awe as I say this.

He laughed uneasily and pushed me away, pushing on one of my breasts in the process. "Dude, not cool. I think of you like a brother, and you go and do this." He laughed.

"Well I could be whatever I want. I was born a mew and I could turn myself into both if I wanted." I laughed. "Besides, you grabbed my boob." I said, pushing on the breast he grabbed. He sat there red faced. "Oh, come on, you know you liked it." I laughed some more. "I think I might stay like this… I feel sexy." I joked.

"Nah… Go back to being a bro. This is awkward."

"Why? Attracted to me? Funny, I don't know that move. Here, I will fix that. Hide me." He stepped in front of me and I turned to my normal human form. "Why? Why did you turn into a woman?" He laughed.

"Because I wanted to mess with you." I chuckled. "I thought it was obvious.

"Mhm… That isn't odd for a guy." He laughed.

"No.. But I am technically neither a guy or a girl. I just choose to be a guy half of the time." I said. "So it is perfectly ok." I laughed. "Anyway, lets go do something, I am bored."

"I am afraid that will have to wait." He said, pointing at a piece of paper on the ground.

"Let's see what Mother has for me now." I said unfolding the piece of paper. I wish I hadn't read it. "Oh shit." I said, dropping the piece of paper.

"What? What is wrong?" He asked.

"Humans." I said.

"Hey!" He said offended.

"Not the time. That wasn't sent out to all legends. It was a special message just for me. I have to go stop people from destroying my home." He then looked over to my house, which we had walked to.

"Nothing is wrong."

"You really are clueless… I meant the Tree of Beginning. People are starting to populate it."

"Oh. Sorry."

"Here." I said, putting my hand on his shoulder. I teleported us to the tree, where mom was playing with her toys she stole from the Cameron Palace.

"Oh, hi Jamie, Rob. What's the matter?" She said in her high pitched voice.

"Mom, Arceus just sent me a note. The tree is in danger. Rob, stay here and protect my mother, I will go to The Hall to find out more details." and with that, I teleported to the kitchen where Arceus was.

"Ahh, I was wondering when you would show up." She said, still in her human form. "Terribly sorry for the deception, but I didn't think you would come if I said I needed your opinion on cake." I sat there dumbstruck. "Oh, I have disabled your teleportation powers for the time being. I need help with something."

"Of course Mother." I sighed.

This is the first chapter of my new story! XD I think it is a good start. I will not be putting a hold on Forgotten, because i will be writing both. I got bored at a few points while writing Family Life, so i am going to write two to try and minimize that X). I hinted to the main character of this story in Family life, so keep an eye out for that.
